We close your books by the 10th of each month* and deliver a dashboard you'll actually open - cash, margins, and trend lines in plain English. *Assumes all required financial statements are received and available within 3 business days of month-end.
Plenty of bookkeepers will close your books. Very few will tell you what the books mean - or reply to emails when you need to make a decision this week.
Here's where we part ways with the rest of the industry.
| The Gap | Typical Bookkeeper |
The Tunstall Organization
|
|---|---|---|
| You only hear from your bookkeeper at tax time or at year-end. |
Year-end scramble, no context, missed planning opportunities.
|
Monthly closes by the 10th with a written note explaining what moved and why.
|
| Books get "cleaned up" - but no one explains what changed. |
Silent edits, trust erodes, you stop opening the reports.
|
A close summary every month - changes, reclassifications, and questions flagged in plain English.
|
| Cash flow surprises keep happening. |
Reactive: "looks like we're tight this week."
|
A rolling 13-week cash forecast updated every close, so surprises become decisions.
|
| Your CPA and bookkeeper don't talk to each other. |
You become the project manager between two vendors.
|
Bookkeeping, tax, and CFO advisory under one roof - one team, one source of truth.
|
| You have questions that fall outside "bookkeeping." |
"That's a tax question - you'll need to ask your CPA."
|
We answer. Hiring plans, price changes, equipment purchases - we model the impact before you commit.
|
